We set ourselves a goal of 1400-2000 pages per year for Form 1 -- two-thirds of the page count we used for our regular AO curriculum, because AO for Groups was designed to be lighter for use in classrooms, co-ops, and large families. That works out to 462-667 pages per term, or 40-56 pages per week. It looks like this count was never completed.
